    That's not a program you're going to find by default on the Start menu.  To access Certificate Manager, click the Start button, type certmgr.msc in the search field, and click the Enter key. 

    If this is a program you use frequently, you can add it to your Start menu. Click Start, type certmgr.msc in the search field (but don't click enter).  Certmgr will appear at the top of the results pane.  Simply right-click on certmgr and click Pin to Start menu.  It will now appear for you in the Start menu as certmgr.

    actually in windows 7, it can't find certmgr.msc...you need to click the windows icon, then type run in the search box, then type certmgr.msc.

    Hi! I can't open certmgr.msc. I'm trying to deactivate VeriSign Class 3, and to do that I need to open certmgr.msc. It might be because I have Windows 7, but I don't really know. Do you? It would rally help me out if you told me.

    If you don't see  Certificate Manager from the Start orb, All Programs and files box by entering:

    certmgr.msc

    You can still access it by navigating to the system32 folder and double clicking the certmgr icon:
